Paper 1How Heat Generated in a Hydraulic Systemcan be Turned into “Green Savings”
Lyle Rube
An issue with all mechanical processes is that theprocess generates a certain amount of heat; thisespecially true in the case of hydraulic systems.Heat is generated when the fluid is pressurized,heat generated from the friction of the pressurizedfluid flowing through the lines, routing throughvalves and other devices that create pressuredrops, and finally the transfer of fluid energyback to mechanical energy to do work. Fluidpower designers attempt to reduce as much aspossible the generation of such heat. This includesthe use of components that generate a minimumof pressure drop, correct sizing of hydraulic lines,and work duty cycles. However, no matter howenergy efficient the design, the system stillgenerates heat. The designer must build into thehydraulic system a means for removing excessheat or risk damaging the equipment. A rule ofthumb in fluid power is that for open loophydraulic systems around 30% of the inputhorsepower is lost to heat.
Basic to thermal dynamics is the process of heattransfer from the device to someplace else wherethe heat can be safely dispersed. In simple “openloop” hydraulic systems, the hydraulic reservoir isthe primary means for heat transfer. Fluid powerdesigners carefully select reservoirs, not only forstorage of system fluid but also for thereservoir’s heat transfer properties. Most systemsare cooled by relying on the heat transfer fromtank surfaces to the surrounding air. The rateof heat transfer is dependent on the amount ofreservoir surface area, fluid dwell time, thematerial the reservoir is constructed from, thetemperature of the fluid and type, the ambient airtemperature, and ambient air exchange rates.Positive heat exchange can be detrimentally
effected if the hydraulic power unit is placedsomewhere non conducive to ambient cooling;such as an unventilated equipment rooms orplacement where it is exposed to directsunlight. Heat exchange is based on
the temperature differential (∆T). Thegreater the ∆T the better the heat exchange,moving from the higher heat source to thecooler. This is the principle that all heatexchangers are based on, whether air/fluid orfluid/fluid. The common radiator used on mobileequipment is a classic example of an air/fluid heatexchange system. In industry whereequipment is stationary, fluid/fluid heat
exchangeisquite common. Two types ofheat transfer units are often used; plate coils andtube & shell. For the purposes
of this discussion I will pass over the platecoil systems and discuss tube & shell.
The principle of a tube & shell heat exchanger isthat the hydraulic fluid is passed through the heatexchanger tubes that are surrounded by a jacket ofcooling fluid, normally water. The water isconnected to the pressure side of the watersystem and the heat exchanger discharge wateris connected either to the effluent drain or to awater cooling system such as a cooling tower.
The hot hydraulic fluid exchangesthe heat to the water, which is then carriedoff. Typically the heat exchanger is installeddownstream from the return filters andupstream from the reservoir. This system ishighly efficient in removing the heat from thehydraulic fluid and maintaining a cool system. Bykeeping the fluid temperature cool the hydraulicsystem is more efficient and it will increase theoverall lifetime of the system. The typical way ofcontrolling the flow of hydraulic fluid through theheat exchanger is with a mechanical valve thatis very much like the thermostat valve foundon most cars and trucks. When the fluid heats to acertain preset temperature the valves opensallowing the fluid to flow through the heatexchanger. Otherwise the fluid, if not warm

T-Papers
enough, bypasses the heat exchanger straight tothe reservoir. Now that weunderstand the heat exchange principle wecan now begin the discussion of how this can beutilized to generate “green savings”.
In many applications water is heated to a desiredworking temperature. Raising the water from theambient line temperature to the workingtemperature requires the input of energy, usuallyfrom some form of heating device such as a gas orelectric water heater. Let’s assumethe
ambient water linetemperature is 65° F and we need to raise thetemperature to 120° F working temperature. Thewater heater will have to input enough energy toovercome a ∆T of 55°. Rather than taking thedischarge water from the heat exchanger anddumping it down the drain, the heat exchangercan work as a pre heater. For discussion purposeslet’s say, conservatively, the heat exchanger raisesthe water temperature 25° F; instead of having thewater heater raise the temperature 55° F, it willonly have to raise it 30°. This is a savings of45%. Over time this can lead to a substantialenergy cost reduction; more than paying for thecost of the heat exchanger and installation.
Water is not the only heat exchange mediumthat can be used. In hydroponic heat systems,utilizing heat transfer fluids; again the heatexchanger can use the hydroponic heat transferfluid to cool the hydraulic system and preheat thehydroponic fluid. Thus, cutting overall energycosts in heating. Otherhydroponic heating systems are hot water heatsystems and again the heat exchanger can beused as a feed water preheater.
Taking the “greening” one step farther; ratherthan use standard mineral based hydraulic oil inthe system, the use of a water based fluid willenhance the system operation. Water basedhydraulic fluids contain between 35% to 60%water. Water’s better heat transfer properties over
mineral or vegetable based oils will significantlyincrease the heat transfer capability. For example:If in an oil based system the heat exchanger isable to pull out 75% of the heat and the waterbased system is able to pull out 85%; it’s a “nobrainer”. Also, if a water based hydraulic fluid isused; the cooler it is kept the less water willevaporate out. The best operating temperature forwater based fluids is < 50° C (122° F).
If the hydraulic power unit’s input power is 25 hpand it’s estimated that the system will generate30% in heat; that’s a little over 8 hp or 343.764BTU/min or20626 BTU/hr. If, through a heat exchanger and asystem with water based hydraulic fluid, 85% ofthe heat energy can be captured; that’s 17532BTU/hr. That’s energy that’s already been paidfor; why pay for it again?
When considering the use of a heat exchanger;there can be some negatives also. Beforepurchasing a heat exchanger make certain thatthe exchanger is fabricated from the rightmaterials. Whatever the hydraulic fluid tubesare made of should be of material that thewater will not corrode. Similarly the tubes shouldbe made of material that the hydraulic fluid willnot react to, especially if the hydraulic fluid iswater based. Nothing can ruin a day more thanfinding water in your hydraulic fluid from a leakyheat exchanger. Also, the heat exchanger mustbe sized correctly to effectively pull themaximum amount of heat. Undersizedexchangers will not allow enough fluid dwelltime to pull out the heat. Heat exchangers that areoversized will pull out the heat, but why pay forwhat you don’t need. Some system designersrecommend placing the heat exchangerupstream from the return filters because if thematerial in theheat exchanger should begin to degrade andstart “sluffing off”; the filter will be in place tocapture the contaminants before they can get intothe reservoir. Finding and using the services

of a fluid power professional to help chose thecorrect heat exchanger and install it is probablythe wisest way to go.
Finally, the idea of using a heat exchanger has thepotential to make systems more efficient. Whowould have ever thought that “going green” couldactually put green into your wallet.

Safety in the industrial environment ischallenging
Industrialization is the key factor for thegrowth of a country. However, there is a tendencyto neglect the environment and accident in theprocess of rapid industrialization. For protection ofa community and the works in hazardousenvironment, attempts should be always made toprovide the best hygienic conditions duringmanufacturing process. Safety cannot be ensuredmerely by legislation, administrative action,penalties or governmental action. However Everywork place and every work man needs safety.
How much money do you have to spend topurchase safety protective equipment to preventaccidents? Try asking yourself how much it willcost you whenever an accident happens - loss oflife, loss of work and productivity, insuranceclaims, material damage, and not counting thoseextra hours writing reports...
Accidents are not cheap. In fact, they can be very,very expensive!
And ironically, most accidents are caused bypeople! And it is not easy to get people to followwhat you want them to do. Everybody has a freewill and they know it.
How useful are your protective equipmentif your workers are not using them? How do youensure that your workers remember safetyguidelines and avoid dangerous practices? Orobserve good safety practices when nobodysupervises them?
Somehow, people need to get it into theirsubconscious mind to want to follow safety rulesand regulations. If not it will be an uphill task forthe safety practitioner. Do they have to wield the
big stick like a policeman and play a cat-and-mouse game all the time?
Safety awareness is the key tocontrolling accidents. Safety awareness is criticalin any construction site. So many dangerousactivities are happening at the same time. It onlytakes one unsafe act to bring your safety recordplunging down.
What is the best way to deliver your safetymessage?
Interestingly, researchers have foundthat people remember 50% more in what theysee than in what they hear. Visuals get people'sattention. Advertising people know about this. Themany images on billboards, magazines,newspapers or even on the internet are testimoniesthat visuals do attract people and advertising usingvisuals are so effective.
Humor in posters brings good feelings andmakes ideas more memorable and receptive. Thisagain has a lot to do with the working of the mind.Pleasant thoughts generate more receptivelearning. Have you ever tried studying for an examwhen you have ugly thoughts disturbing yourmind?
Humor effectively drives a point that is soeasy to understand when done correctly. Accidentssituations cannot be photographed. Only stuntmenare crazy enough to do things that can result inaccidents. Cartoons can be effectively used toillustrate dangerous situations which might beimpossible to capture on film in real life.
What do you mean by done correctly?Well, in any graphic design, there must be acertain composition that makes a picture stand out.It's what makes people stop and stare. It's thedifference between a prize-winning visual and amediocre one.
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
Composition is simply the arrangement ofthe subject matter within the confines of a picturespace. It's not just a matter of putting the mainfocus in the center. The arrangement of othercomponents of a picture will lead the eye of thebeholder to the center of interest. Throughcomposition, a picture is unified into a well-balanced and pleasing design.
There are many techniques for arrangingsubjects to create attractive graphics. Some of thewell known ones are: the S-shape, L-shape, threespot composition, tunnel, silhouette, golden mean,radiating line and many others.
Another way to capture interest is by theuse of colors or lack of it. Strong reds will standout in a green background. Skilful matching ofcolors can enable pictures to stand out, and makepeople take notice.
In safety communication, the safetyslogan must also be eye-catching. After all, thatis the safety message that you want to deliver topeople. To be successful, the words must stand outabove the rest.
The successful safety poster first capturespeople's attention with the graphics and the color.Next, it lets them enjoy the images to relax theirmood. Finally, it presents the safety slogan ormessage for the finale.
If done well, people will remember themessages in safety posters for a long, long time.And when a similar situation occurs during theirwork, the vivid graphic comes back to their minds,perhaps causing them to smile knowingly for whatto avoid. They have seen the consequences andthey will avoid putting themselves in that similaraccident-prone situation.
Does it make sense then to use eye-catching cartoon graphics to influence safetybehavior in people? I think it might work when weexpose people sufficiently over a long period of
time. The messages must sink into theirsubconscious mind so that it becomes secondnature to them.
There had been a lot of propagandagraphics created during the world wars and alsoduring political campaigns. Many of them usedcartoons to influence the thinking of the masses.People in advertisement use a lot of graphics - allfor one purpose - to influence people's impressionor buying behavior.
Truly, cartoon posters with the propermessages can influence people's behavior. Thatshould be good news to safety professionals. It's atool with a lot of potential.
If we are involved with safety, we canobtain suitable safety posters that are both cheapand good, where we can store in your computer,and print at any time we want.

The role of management practice to improvethe efficiency level of an Entrepreneur
Dr. Satya Ranjan NayakAsst. Professor of Economics and Business
AdministrationGandhi Institute for Technological
Advancement, BhubaneswarOdisha., India, Pin: 752054
*E-mail: [email protected]
Abstract
An entrepreneur or the organizer isviewed as one of the important factors ofproduction who organizes all other factors ofproduction ( i.e. land, labour, capital , rawmaterial etc) to produce the product in aneconomy. But to improve the efficiency level ofan entrepreneur needs a better managerialpractice throughout. In this paper, an honestattempt has been made to focus and analyse themanagerial practice of an entrepreneur.
I. Introduction
Managers are the individuals who practice
the art of management. In other words they
use the limited resources and put them to
proper use and strive to reach the
organization’s goals with productivity. In
this regard French industrialist Henery
Fayol viewed that all managers perform
five management functions like Planning,
Organizing, Commanding, Coordinating
and Controlling. They always keep in touch
with new ideas and new developments in
the wider world. Studies that investigate
the link between management practices and
productivity have assessed the impact of an
individual practice in isolation, the effects
of joint adoption of practices and the
impact of clusters or systems of
complementary practices. In this review,
we investigate OM (operations
management) and HRM management
practices. OM practices focus on systems
management and include Information and
Communication Technology (ICT), Just in
Time (JIT), Total Quality Management
(TQM), and lean production, amongst
others. HRM practices focus on people
management, in particular the recruitment,
development and management of
employees (Wood and Wall, 2002).
Typical HRM practices involve training,
development, empowerment and
teamwork. Wall and Wood (2005) suggest
it is unlikely that there exists a ‘one size
fits all’ set of productivity-enhancing
management principles or practices.
Edwards et al (2004) builds upon this
contingency approach, stating that the
success of management practices are firm-

T-Papers
specific and these are affected by the
prevailing institutional environment.
II. Functions of the Managers in an
Organisation.
Managerial functions are effective tools
for managers to achieve the
organization’s planned objectives. They
include the general administrative
duties that need to be carried out in
virtually all organizations. Following
figure depicts the management process
and shows the various functions that
mangers are involved.
(A)Planning:
This is the process, by which
mangers decide the mission and
objectives of the firm and take
necessary steps to achieve the desired
objectives. Planning helps a firm to
decide its future course of action. At
the same time, managers need to
determine the future trends in business
and incorporate change and innovation
into the organisation from time to time.
(B) Orginising: It is the process of
assigning tasks and allocating resources
to individuals to enable them to
accomplish organisational goals.
Organising is a continuous process of
determining :
Which task are to be performed
How task can best be combined into
specific jobs.
How jobs can be grouped into
various units
The authority and reporting
relationships within the corporate
hierarchy.
(C) Staffing: Staffing is better known as
‘Human Resource Management’ and
involves manning or filling the various
positions in the organisational
hierarchy. A activities like determining
manpower requirements, assessing the
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
number of people presently available in
the organisation, recruiting and
selecting candidates, training and
placing them in the organisation come
under purview of staffing. This
function also deals with compensation,
performance appraisal, promotion and
carrier planning.
(D)Leading : It is defined as “ the
management function of influencing ,
motivating and directing people
towards the achievement of
organisational goals. It is the
management function that involves
influencing against the established
industry standards developed during the
planning process and corrections of
deviation, if any. The basic control
process involves:
Comparing performance with
standards
Determining where negative
deviations occur, and
Developing remedial measures to
correct deviations.
III.Conclusion:
Productivity is one of the most important
factors affecting the overall performance of any
organization, large or small. At the micro-level,
improved productivity decreases unit costs and
serves as an indicator of project performance. At
the macro-level, improved productivity is a vital
tool in countering inflationary effects and
determining wage policies. Improved productivity
is thus always counted among the basic means of
solving economic problems. It is increasingly
recognized that capital alone is an inadequate
means of producing more wealth or for starting a
business in developing countries. Improved
productivity is also required; if all production
inputs are well utilized, capital improvements and
enhanced productivity go hand in hand. In other
words, increased productivity enhances
investments without any burden to governments.
In addition to the advantages at this fundamental
level, the advantages of productivity improvement
can be summarized as follows:
• Decreased total cost and duration of production
• Improved quality
• Growth in market share of product
• Increased employment and wages without
inflationary pressures
• Enhanced purchasing capacities among
employees, employers, and customers.

Industry – AcademiaCollaborations
There are numerous ways to build a University-
Industry relationship,even if it is still strictly from
an educational perspective. A few ideas are
detailed below:
Ideas on developing Industry support for the
university
• Delivering guest lectures: This is the simplest
and first step to developing a relationship with the
company. In my experience at Cambridge
University, Engineering Department we invite
people from many companies to give guest
lectures by establishing a named lecture series
like “Cambridge Advanced Technology lectures”.
Over time when more and more esteemed
lecturers are invited, the merit of this lecture series
grows. This results in more companies coming in
voluntarily to contribute to the development of the
institute/university in some form.
• Hiring of industry practitioners as part timefaculty (visiting Fellows): This is a more serious
undertaking but can be extremely valuable as
these experienced people can disseminate their
experience in a university. This in turn feeds back
to the industries in this field which could boost
campus recruitment opportunities which leads to
my next point.
• Recruitment opportunities: There can be
several ways to provide this service to the industry
by providing the incentive of bringing forward top
candidates from the university to be
trained/educated by the industry and finally be
recruited.
• Site visits (tours): This is again a simple yet
effective idea to motivate students to take up core
jobs. In depth factory/site tours organized by
experts in the respective industry can go a long
way in providing a perspective to the young
student.
• Student projects: This is by far the best way to
develop an intellectual relationship with the
industry. Students working on projects under joint
supervision of mentors in the university and the
industry can produce valuable results for the
industry (Note that the price to the industry is
almost zero in this case while they get a lot of
focussed work) and at the same time boost the
technical capability of staff. Successful projects
can generate interest in the company who then
can invest in developing a lab in the university. For
example, in my case this has been achieved with
a company called Agilent technologies. They have
invested a huge amount of money to develop a
state of the art electronics laboratory.
• Summer vacation jobs/internships: Most
companies have an existing internship program.
Universities with strong industrial support almost
always have their undergraduate/graduate
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
courses linked to these internships. For example:
IIT Kharagpur has a compulsory requirement that
3rd year students must do a 10 credit summer
internship/project in a company of interest or even
just another reputed university. This is also very
good to develop ties between your university and
industries or other universities. A placement cell
could be setup within your university whose
members can be senior faculty with good
contacts. Then a list of opportunities can be
developed by talking to your respective contacts
and then a placement competition can be held
even for these internship placements. This will
develop a healthy competition within the students
and additionally give them valuable interview skills
training.
• Collaboration on course delivery - electronicdiscussion groups (include students andindustry): Particular courses could have modules
which involve an industrial component. For
example: We collaborate with the institute for
manufacturing who bring in experts from the
industry to do cost and feasibility analysis for a
particular engineering project. These could be
simple thought experiments followed by a
business plan as well. This will involve the industry
in the projects that are undertaken by the
university and get ideas and develop their R&D
internally. Some projects are even selected by the
interested company and a seed investment is
made for its development.
• Support contests: For example …a company
can sponsor a final year project prize that satisfies
the needs of that particular company.
• Mentoring of projects: Joint projects can be
started and students can go work under the
mentorship of the industrial expert. This is similar
to the summer internships etc. but can be a longer
term project as well.
As a general benefit of the aforementioned
schemes, students will be motivated towards their
coursework as it provides exposure to real world
issues and problems. In addition, it eliminates the
age old student issue of not being able to put an
application to the large amount of theory that is
taught.
Benefit to the industry:
• Evaluation of prospective employees (the
students)
• Reverse Consultancy: Feedback on projects in
the university. Smaller companies are certainly
more open thanlarger more established
companies (due to more internal policies in bigger
companies). To establish this a clear intellectual
property agreement and an NDA must be put in
place.
• Organize student volunteers to support
companies with testing and focus groups. This is a
direct benefit to the company.
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
• Provide leads on collaborative research
proposals
Where to Start?(My views)1. To set up a team in the university who
would leverage their industrial contacts
and build a database of interested
companies. The team should also come up
with an agreement to be signed by
interested industrial partners.
2. Set up an institute website and put the logo
of each partner signed to the collaboration.
A nice name can be given to this
development project which companies can
sign on to initially for a small or no
donation but this clause can be amended
based on the success of this venture. The
website is important as it will attract more
companies and more importantly more
bright students.
3. Setup a lecture series and invite speakers
from interested companies.
4. Competitions/ technical festivals etc are a
good forum for networking and also a very
good starting point for both parties to start
a collaborative relationship. For the
company it is advertisement at a very small
cost.
There are many more ideas but I guess this is a
starting point. I hope this is useful.

ROLE OF TECHNOLOGICALADVANCEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development (SD) has emerged as
a new goal for international development in the
wake of a host of changing environmental,
social, and economic conditions. Some of
these are global environmental problems arising
from industrial development patterns, resource
degradation and depletion, widening economic
gaps between and within industrial and
developing countries, and resource-driven
conflicts. Evolved from past foreign
development paradigms that focus on
economic aspects of development, SD expands
on the social, environmental, and institutional
components. Yet, SD is most notable in taking a
world-view that seeks to promote equity among
and within nations and generations. The role
of science and technology in SD is viewed in a
new way as well, with an emphasis on
technologies for empowerment (e.g., education,
information, communication) and
environmental sustainability (e.g., sustainable
agriculture, renewable energy. improved re-
source efficiency) and a focus on whole systems.
The Planet Earth has the unique feature of
sustaining by the energy of the sun, the marvel of
biological living systems. The regions of the earth
close to the equator in north and south latitudes up to
the transit of the sun, particularly in the
neighbourhood of the oceans have the blessings of
perennial rivers and other water resources. The
peoples of these territories have access to
extraordinary abundance of microbes, plants and
animals. They meet with ease and certainty all their
simple essential needs which provide them in turn
the precious freedom and leisure for exploration,
experimentation, speculation, creative expressions in
new knowledge, languages, literature, performing
arts, craftsmanship, with a variety of natural materials
and tools. The leaders and rulers in these regions
guided by the wisdom of empirical observations
provided patronage and resources for the bold, and
imaginative ventures in arts, culture, architecture and
voyages to enhance sensory perceptions and
appreciation as well as to create wealth and well-
being of their peoples for meeting the needs of water,
food, housing, clothing and ensuring health, nutrition,
security, justice and much joy.
Rivers, deserts, forests, mountains, oceans had
to be crossed for exploration. These necessitated
evolution of engineering and technological
capacities from scientific enquiries and laws of
science. These were exchanged in trade and
commerce and by aspirations for travel and quest.
The richness and wealth of these regions in
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
Southern Europe, Northern and Western Africa,
West Asia, Coastal East Africa, Central Asia, South
Asia, Asia Pacific and China have thus been the
greatest originators of engineering and technology
over five millennia.
These exchanges and interactions have
increased substantially through greater facilities in
seafaring and voyages across the Indian and Pacific
oceans and the Atlantic. Thus transfer of new
knowledge and materials between the Indian
subcontinent, Pacific areas, China and Latin
America also increased. The rich biological
mineral resources and contact with the highly
skilled personnel in India in design,
fabrication, construction, navigation as well
in complex manufacturing processes attracted
attention of European powers. Thereafter
interchange of economic plant materials became
possible between Asia and Latin America. These
regions constitute what is termed the Third
World.
The great scientific advances in the past two
centuries have resulted from novel engineering and
technologies in energy generation and use in creation
of industrial goods, services for improving health,
nutrition and conquest of diseases. The Third World
has gained power for self-rule and is aspiring to attain
rapid economic growth and societal development.
Indian developments in the past two hundred years
and especially in the later half of the twentieth century
have derived much inspiration and sustenance from
interactions within the Third World.
India has witnessed many developments in
the past through contacts with South Asia,
China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, West Asia,
Central Asia, Coastal Red Sea, Southern Europe
and many countries of Africa. The languages,
literature, architecture, cuisine, beverages,
perfumery, textiles and garments, home
implements, jewellery, paintings, crafts, musical
instruments bear witness today of such
engineering and technological exchanges.
As mentioned earlier, major initiatives in India by
scientists and patrons of sciences have been
aimed at creating capabilities and capacities for new
technologies and applications for self-reliance to
meet the needs and aspirations of the people.
As elucidated in Section 2 India witnessed a
renaissance in science and technology primarily
through several dedicated brilliant the vision
and efforts of scientists and their patrons.
Before 1950, India had engineered
production of sugar, textiles, chemicals from coal
tar, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, dyes,
industrial explosives and steel. Soon after
Independence, guided by Jawaharlal

Nehru, Mahalanobis and PMS primary
engineering and technology generation leading
to success are outlined, while taking note of the
serious new concerns that have grown in the last
three decades on global environment and loss of
biodiversity.
India with a billion inhabitants perforce must
promote and adopt numerous innovations in
Engineering and Technology for achieving
sustainable, development, recognizing the
availability and limitations of its natural resources.
The experience gained in meeting the needs of
water, energy, food, health, housing and habitat,
largely with self-generated and self- reliant
technological advances in industry, services and
human skills and for fulfilling aspirations in
the next two decades are recorded.

Gangetic Plains to raise three crops a year

perennial sunshine coupled with irrigation.
Lined ponds have promoted fish farming on a
large-scale. The desalination engineering of
cooling tower dis- charges in petroleum,
chemical and thermal electri- cal power

technology has led to fresh water
conservation. Closed cycle fresh water
circulation, cooled by once- through sea water
in coastal region in industry is increasing. Rain
water harvesting through appropri- ate
indigeneous technologies is being introduced in
many regions.
Brilliant hydraulic design engineers have,
since Independence been responsible for
building great dams and barrages all over the
country. Rivers also are an important means of
transport with bridges to facilitate their
navigation. Dams and waterfalls provide
hydropower. Abundance of such
hydropower supported electrolytic hydrogen
and alkali production. The potential for
harnessing river and rain water resources is very
high through appropriate new technologies.
Development of small and micro hydropower
equipment of high reliability is able to provide
water and electrical energy to small isolated
mountain communities. Such power is also
stored in efficient batteries for night lighting
and for hospital equipment,
telecommunications, education and television
in remote areas. Rural village communities in arid
and semi arid zones in Western India have
adopted new technologies for conservation of
rain water to raise forests with fast-growing
trees and shrubs for fodder, fire-wood and
minor timber. Major advances in Ion
exchange and membrane based technologies
and highly reliable equipment have ensured
safe drinking water supply at low cost in urban
areas as well as in schools and hospitals. In the
islands of Lakshadweep and Andaman and
Nicobar and in coastal areas of Kerala,
introduction of salt-tolerant varieties of crops
such as rice, coconut, have been successfully
employed.
The detection of presence of toxic arsenic
in ground water in eastern India has
prompted development to limit such sources
for use by humans and livestock. A special
concern is related to water reservoir- induced
seismic activity in high dams especially in the
light of growing knowledge of plate tectonics
on the movement of Indian Peninsular Plate
against the Himalayan plate. Owing to
deforestation in the catchment areas, there is a
heavy loss of top soil and silting of the rivers
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14

causing flash floods and decrease in the
storage capacity of the reserviors. Further,
reduction in the depth of estuaries is leading to
the lowering of the limits of tonnage of ocean
liners in ports and harbours such as Haldia of the
Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta and is receiving
serious attention of engineers.
Global warming even on a miniscule level
will increase the flow from melting snows
of the Himalayan peaks and sea level rise
in coastal regions affecting major urban
centers and fishing communities. This is of
special concern in the Indian subcontinent and
has ushered substantial Indian scientific
contributions for international studies.
A scientist always looks for interesting
problems to be solved. But the people are not
looking for problems, they are looking for
solutions. The approach, therefore, should be
to connect these two. Of late, technology
seems to have undergone a change in mindset
and is loaded in favour of economy of scale;
more and more money is added into the tools of
technology utilization. We have to concentrate
rather on technology of numbers – that which
can be used by the maximum number of
people.
For this, I recommend the 4 D’s. The first is
the design of technology, which provides a
viable solution for problems faced by many. It
should be of a size and investment that can be
afforded by underprivileged social groups to be
socially inclusive.
The next is development, in the context in
which it is to be applied. We have many
designs but they are not of the right size to be
of use to the groups who need them. So
technology must be developed and modified to
suit the social context in which it will be used.
Then there is the question of delivery. The
technology has to reach the right people at the
right time to be effective and useful. There are
many instances when this has not happened
and all the effort and expense has been a waste.
What will catalyse and spread the adoption
of the technology is the dramatic effect it
produces. There was an instance of an age-old
method being used which resulted in poor
yield, low quality and long process. But the
scientists who were sent to rectify the situation
said they could not do anything. They were
told to live with the people and study the
system. Slowly they established a rapport with
the people and made them accept the new
ideas and technologies which reduced the time
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
and increased the yield. These dramatic results
made it possible to introduce new technology
where there had originally been indifference
and apathy.
When we discuss a programme or
technology for sustainable livelihood, we have
to think of a chain from end to end. Otherwise
the problem cannot be solved. The 4Ds of
design, development, delivery, and especially
dramatic effect are necessary to fill the gap
that is seen and felt.

Solving HydraulicSystem OverheatingProblemsBrendan Casey
Tags: hydraulics
Overheating ranks No. 2 in the list of most
common problems with hydraulic equipment.
Unlike leaks, which rank No. 1, the causes of
overheating and its remedies are often not well
understood by maintenance personnel
Why do Hydraulic Systems Overheat?
Heating of hydraulic fluid in operation is caused
by inefficiencies. Inefficiencies result in losses of
input power, which are converted to heat. A
hydraulic system’s heat load is equal to the total
power lost (PL) through inefficiencies and can be
expressed as:
PLtotal = PLpump + PLvalves + PLplumbing +
PLactuators
If the total input power lost to heat is greater than
the heat dissipated, the hydraulic system will
eventually overheat. Installed cooling capacity
typically ranges between 25 and 40 percent of
input power, depending on the type of hydraulic
system.
Hydraulic Fluid Temperature
How hot is too hot? Hydraulic fluid temperatures
above 180°F (82°C) damage most seal compounds
and accelerate degradation of the oil. While the
operation of any hydraulic system at temperatures
above 180°F should be avoided, fluid temperature
is too high when viscosity falls below the optimum
value for the hydraulic system’s components. This
can occur well below 180°F, depending on the
fluid’s viscosity grade.
Maintaining Stable Hydraulic Fluid
Temperature
To achieve stable fluid temperature, a hydraulic
system’s capacity to dissipate heat must exceed its
heat load. For example, a system with continuous
input power of 100 kW and an efficiency of 80
percent needs to be capable of dissipating a heat
load of at least 20 kW. Assuming this system has a
designed cooling capacity of 25 kW, anything that
increases heat load above 25 kW or reduces the
cooling system’s capacity below 25 kW will cause
the system to overheat.
Consider this example. I was recently asked to
investigate and solve an overheating problem in a
mobile application. The hydraulic system was
comprised of a diesel-hydraulic power unit, which
was being used to power a pipe-cutting saw. The
saw was designed for sub-sea use and was
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
connected to the hydraulic power unit on the
surface via a 710-foot umbilical. The operating
requirements for the saw were 24 GPM at 3,000
PSI.
The hydraulic power unit had a continuous power
rating of 37 kW and was fitted with an air-blast
heat exchanger. The exchanger was capable of
dissipating 10 kW of heat under ambient
conditions or 27 percent of available input power
(10/37 x 100 = 27). The performance of all cooling
circuit components were checked and found to be
operating within design limits.
At this point it, was clear that the overheating
problem was being caused by excessive heat load.
Concerned about the length of the umbilical, I
calculated its pressure drop. The theoretical
pressure drop across 710 feet of ¾-inch pressure
hose at 24 GPM is 800 PSI. The pressure drop
across the same length of 1-inch return hose is 200
PSI. The theoretical heat load produced by the
pressure drop across the umbilical of 1,000 PSI
(800 + 200 = 1,000) was 10.35 kW. This meant
that the heat load of the umbilical was 0.35 kW
more than the heat dissipation capacity of the
hydraulic system’s heat exchanger. This, when
combined with the system’s normal heat load
(inefficiencies) was causing the hydraulic system
to overheat.
Beat the Heat
There are two ways to solve overheating problems
in hydraulic systems: decrease heat load or
increase heat dissipation.
Hydraulic systems dissipate heat through the
reservoir. Therefore, check the reservoir fluid level
and if low, fill to the correct level. Check that there
are no obstructions to airflow around the reservoir,
such as a buildup of dirt or debris.
Inspect the heat exchanger and ensure that the core
is not blocked. The ability of the heat exchanger to
dissipate heat is dependent on the flow-rate and
temperature of both the hydraulic fluid and the
cooling air or water circulating through the
exchanger. Check the performance of all cooling
circuit components and replace as necessary.
An infrared thermometer can be used to check the
performance of a heat exchanger, provided the
design flow-rate of hydraulic fluid through the
exchanger is known. To do this, measure the
temperature of the oil entering and exiting the
exchanger and substitute the values in the
following formula:
Where: kW = heat dissipation of exchanger in
kilowatts
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
L/min = oil flow through the exchanger in liters
per minute
T ºC = inlet oil temperature minus outlet oil
temperature in Celsius
For example, if the measured temperature drop
across the exchanger is 4ºC and the design oil
flow-rate is 90 L/min, the exchanger is dissipating
10 kW of heat. Relating this to a system with a
continuous input power of 100 kW, the exchanger
is dissipating 10 percent of input power. If the
system is overheating, it means that either there is
a problem in the cooling circuit or the capacity of
the exchanger is insufficient for the ambient
operating conditions.
On the other hand, if the measured temperature
drop across the exchanger is 10ºC and the design
oil flow-rate is 90 L/min, the exchanger is
dissipating 26 kW of heat. Relating this to a
system with a continuous input power of 100 kW,
the exchanger is dissipating 26 percent of input
power. If the system is overheating, this means
that the efficiency of the system has fallen below
74 percent.
Pressure Drop Means Heat
Where there is a pressure drop, heat is generated.
This means that any component in the system that
has abnormal, internal leakage will increase the
heat load on the system and can cause the system
to overheat. This could be anything from a
cylinder that is leaking high-pressure fluid past its
piston seal, to an incorrectly adjusted relief valve.
Identify and change-out any heat-generating
components.
A common cause of heat generation in closed
center circuits is the setting of relief valves below,
or too close to, the pressure setting of the variable-
displacement pump’s pressure compensator. This
prevents system pressure from reaching the setting
of the pressure compensator. Instead of pump
displacement reducing to zero, the pump continues
to produce flow, which passes over the relief
valve, generating heat. To prevent this problem in
closed center circuits, the pressure setting of the
relief valve(s) should be 250 PSI above the
pressure setting of the pump’s pressure
compensator (Figure 1).
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
Closed center circuit showing relief
valve (RV) setting 250 PSI above
the pressure compensator (PC)
setting of the variable pump (PV).
Figure 1
Continuing to operate a hydraulic system when the
fluid is over-temperature is similar to operating an
internal combustion engine with high coolant
temperature. Damage is guaranteed. Therefore,
whenever a hydraulic system starts to overheat,
shut it down, identify the cause and fix it.

Symptoms of CommonHydraulic Problemsand Their Root Causes
Brendan Casey
Tags: hydraulics
Proactive
maintenance
emphasizes the
routine detection
and correction of
root cause
conditions that
would otherwise
lead to equipment
failure. In the case
of hydraulic
systems, there are
three easily
detectable
symptoms that
give early
warning of root
cause conditions.
These symptoms
are abnormal
noise, high fluid
temperature and
slow operation.
Abnormal Noise
Abnormal noise in hydraulic systems is often
caused by aeration or cavitation. Aeration occurs
when air contaminates the hydraulic fluid. Air in
the hydraulic fluid makes an alarming banging or
knocking noise when it compresses and
decompresses, as it circulates through the system.
Other symptoms include foaming of the fluid and
erratic actuator movement. Aeration accelerates
degradation of the fluid and causes damage to
system components through loss of lubrication,
overheating and burning of seals.
Air usually enters the hydraulic system through the
pump’s inlet. For this reason, it is important to
make sure pump intake lines are in good condition
and all clamps and fittings are tight. Flexible
intake lines can become porous with age;
therefore, replace old or suspect intake lines. If the
fluid level in the reservoir is low, a vortex can
develop, allowing air to enter the pump intake.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir, and if low,
fill to the correct level. In some systems, air can
enter the pump through its shaft seal. Check the
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
condition of the pump shaft seal and if it is
leaking, replace it.
Cavitation occurs when the volume of fluid
demanded by any part of a hydraulic circuit
exceeds the volume of fluid being supplied. This
causes the absolute pressure in that part of the
circuit to fall below the vapor pressure of the
hydraulic fluid. This results in the formation of
vapor cavities within the fluid, which implode
when compressed, causing a characteristic
knocking noise.
The consequences of cavitation in a hydraulic
system can be serious. Cavitation causes metal
erosion, which damages hydraulic components and
contaminates the fluid. In extreme cases, cavitation
can cause mechanical failure of system
components.
While cavitation can occur just about anywhere
within a hydraulic circuit, it commonly occurs at
the pump. A clogged inlet strainer or restricted
intake line will cause the fluid in the intake line to
vaporize. If the pump has an inlet strainer or filter,
it is important for it not to become clogged. If a
gate-type isolation valve is fitted to the intake line,
it must be fully open. This type of isolation device
is prone to vibrating closed. The intake line
between the reservoir and pump should not be
restricted. Flexible intake lines are prone to
collapsing with age; therefore, replace old or
suspect intake lines.
High Fluid Temperature
Fluid temperatures above 180°F (82°C) can
damage seals and accelerate degradation of the
fluid. This means that the operation of any
hydraulic system at temperatures above 180°F is
detrimental and should be avoided. Fluid
temperature is too high when viscosity falls below
the optimum value for the system’s components.
The temperature at which this occurs is dependent
on the viscosity grade of the fluid in the system
and can be well below 180°F.
High fluid temperature can be caused by anything
that either reduces the system’s capacity to
dissipate heat or increases its heat load. Hydraulic
systems dissipate heat through the reservoir.
Therefore, the reservoir fluid level should be
monitored and maintained at the correct level.
Check that there are no obstructions to airflow
around the reservoir, such as a build up of dirt or
debris.
It is important to inspect the heat exchanger and
ensure that the core is not blocked. The ability of
the heat exchanger to dissipate heat is dependent
on the flow rate of both the hydraulic fluid and the
cooling air or water circulating through the
exchanger. Therefore, check the performance of all
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
cooling circuit components and replace as
necessary.
When fluid moves from an area of high pressure to
an area of low pressure without performing useful
work (pressure drop), heat is generated. This
means that any component that has abnormal
internal leakage will increase the heat load on the
system. This could be anything from a cylinder
that is leaking high-pressure fluid past its piston
seal, to an incorrectly adjusted relief valve.
Identify and change-out any heat-generating
components.
Air generates heat when compressed. This means
that aeration increases the heat load on the
hydraulic system. As already explained, cavitation
is the formation of vapor cavities within the fluid.
These cavities generate heat when compressed.
Like aeration, cavitation increases heat load.
Therefore, inspect the system for possible causes
of aeration and cavitation.
In addition to damaging seals and reducing the
service life of the hydraulic fluid, high fluid
temperature can cause damage to system
components through inadequate lubrication as a
result of excessive thinning of the oil film (low
viscosity). To prevent damage caused by high fluid
temperature, a fluid temperature alarm should be
installed in the system and all high temperature
indications investigated and rectified immediately.
Slow Operation
A reduction in machine performance is often the
first indication that there is something wrong with
a hydraulic system. This usually manifests itself in
longer cycle times or slow operation. It is
important to remember that in a hydraulic system,
flow determines actuator speed and response.
Therefore, a loss of speed indicates a loss of flow.
Flow can escape from a hydraulic circuit through
external or internal leakage. External leakage such
as a burst hose is usually obvious and therefore
easy to find. Internal leakage can occur in the
pump, valves or actuators, and unless you are
gifted with X-ray vision, is more difficult to
isolate.
As previously noted, where there is internal
leakage there is a pressure drop, and where there is
a pressure drop heat is generated. This makes an
infrared thermometer a useful tool for identifying
components with abnormal internal leakage.
However, temperature measurement is not always
conclusive in isolating internal leakage and in
these cases the use of a hydraulic flow-tester will
be required.
“UDYAMI-MITRA” VOLUME IEDP & IIPC CENTREGITA Bhubaneswar Oct’13-Jan’14
T-Papers
The influence of internal leakage on heat load
means that slow operation and high fluid
temperature often appear together. This can be a
vicious circle. When fluid temperature increases,
viscosity decreases. When viscosity decreases,
internal leakage increases. When internal leakage
increases, heat load increases, resulting in a further
increase in fluid temperature and so the cycle
continues.
Proactively monitoring noise, fluid temperature
and cycle times is an effective way to detect
conditions that can lead to costly component
failures and unscheduled downtime of hydraulic
equipment. In most cases, informed observation is
all that is required.

PATRICIA NARAYAN
The story of Patricia Narayan,winner of this year's 'FicciWoman Entrepreneur of theYear' award is amazing.
She started her career 30 yearsago as an entrepreneur, sellingeateries from a mobile cart onthe Marina beach amidst allodds -- battling a failedmarriage, coping with her
husband, a multiple addict, and taking care of two kids.
Today, she has overcome the hurdles and owns a chain of restaurants.
An entrepreneur by accident
I was always interested in cooking and passionate about trying out new dishes.But, the thought of becoming a business woman never came to my mind at all as Ido not come from a business family. Both my parents were government servants.
But my marriage changed everything. Both the families opposed the marriagevehemently as my husband belonged to the Brahmin community; unfortunately mymarriage did not work out as my husband was addicted to alcohol, drugs, etc. Icould not bring him out of the addiction. As a young woman, I did not know howto cope with this and I was getting beaten up everyday.
Though my father, a very conservative Christian never forgave me, he gave merefuge when I had nowhere to go. I was thrown out with two very small children.It was a question of survival for me. I knew I should either succumb to the burdenor fight; I decided to fight my lonely battle.
UNTRODDEN PATHSUDYAMI-MITRA Jan’14I did not want to be a burden on my parents. So, to be economically independent, Icould only do what I knew and what I liked. I started making pickles, squashesand jams at home. I just took a couple of hundred rupees from my mother. I soldeverything I made in one day and that gave me confidence.
I earned a good income. I invested whatever I earned to make more pickles,squashes and jams. It was quite lucrative in the sense, even ten rupees was ablessing for me.
The first step as an entrepreneur
My father's friend, who was running a school for handicapped children, was handing outmobile carts or kiosks to people who would employ at least two handicapped people.They needed somebody who could run it and I was offered one such cart free. I had totrain the handicapped children to make coffee and serve them to customers.
As I lived near the Marina beach, I decided to put the mobile cart at the Anna Square onthe Marina beach. I had seen people thronging the beach in the evenings. But I had tomake umpteen trips to the Public Works Department and wait for one year to get thepermission.
Finally, I started working on June 21, 1982, a day I will never forget. The previous nightitself, with the help of the local rickshaw drivers, I had rolled the mobile cart to thebeach. It was a small move but thrilling as it was my own and I was going to be abusiness woman the next day.
While such carts sold only tea and cigarettes, I decided to sell cutlets, samosas, bajjis,fresh juice and coffee and tea. On the first day, I sold only one cup of coffee and that wasfor fifty paise!
UNTRODDEN PATHSUDYAMI-MITRA Jan’14
Patricia in the kitchen
I was very disappointed and came home crying. I told my mother, that I would not liketo continue. But my mother consoled me saying, at least you sold one cup of coffee.That's a good sign. You will do well tomorrow. And, she was adamant that I go the nextday also.
The next day, I made sold snacks for Rs 600-700 which was big money for me then! As Istarted making money, I added ice creams, sandwiches, French fries and juices too. Iused to keep thinking of adding more items.
I ran it from 1982 to 2003, and the maximum I made from that mobile cart was Rs25,000 a day. That was during the bandh days! We used to be open from 3 p.m. to 11p.m. every day, and later, I started opening from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. for the walkers.
I used to personally stand there and sell all the stuff I made. I never felt scared to standthere late at night. My only thought was to prove myself and move ahead.
There was a fire in me that made me believe that I could be successful without anyone'shelp. I did not want to be a failure. If you have that fire, nothing in the world can stopyou from succeeding.

Three units at the Ascendas Food Court.
Offer to run a canteen
On seeing my work at the beach, within a year, the Slum Clearance Board gave me anoffer to run the canteen at their office with a proper kitchen. The chairman met meduring her morning walk. That is how I got the offer. The canteen was a huge success.
On Wednesdays, it was the public grievance day, so about 3000 people used to comethere and I had a roaring business.
I used to get up at 5 a.m. in the morning, make idlis and go to the beach. From 9 a.m. Iwould be at the canteen. From 3.30 p.m. I would again be at the beach cart and wouldbe there till 11p.m. By then, I had employed people to cook, and clean, and all thecooking was done at the canteen kitchen. My monthly income in those days was aroundRs 20,000.
Later, I got an offer to run the Bank of Madurai canteen, I stopped running the canteenat the Slum Clearance Board canteen. At the Bank canteen, I served food to around 300people daily.

The turning point
One day, after a fight with my husband who used to come to trouble me often, Iboarded a bus and travelled till the last stop. I got down and saw the National PortManagement training school run by the Central government.
On the spur of the moment, I told the security guard that I wanted to meet theadministrative officer. I met him and told him that I was a caterer and that I heard theywere looking for a one.
He said, to my surprise that they were indeed looking for one as they had problems withthe current contractor. I still believe it was God who took me there.
I got the offer. I had to serve three meals to about 700 students. They gave us quarters tostay. It was a new life for me. I got into the groove in a day. It was successful from dayone, and I took care of the canteen till 1998.
My first weekly payment was Rs 80,000. I felt so elated having seen only hundreds andthousands till then. During those times, I was earning almost a lakh a week.
In those days, I wanted to do everything personally as I felt only then, things would runsmoothly. Now I know if I train people well, they will do the work the way you want.

Starting restaurants
My connection with restaurants started in 1998 when I met people from the SangeethaRestaurant group. They offered me a partnership in one of the units. But my son,Praveen Rajkumar wanted me to start my own restaurant and build a brand of ours.
But destiny played truant with me again. I lost my daughter, Pratibha Sandra and son-in-law road accident, a month after their marriage in 2004. It shattered me, and Iwithdrew from all that I was doing.
Then my son took over and started the first restaurant 'Sandeepha' in my daughter'smemory. It took some time for me to come out of the shock and start helping my son inthe business. Now, I am fully involved in the business. The fire to succeed has come backto me now.
Ambulance to help the accident victims
I still cannot get over my daughter's death as I did all this for my children; to bring themup and give them a good life.
What shocked me was the way the accident victims were treated by the ambulanceoperators. When they found that all the four in the car were dead, they said they wouldnot carry dead bodies. Finally, somebody carried all the dead bodies in the boot of a car.When I saw the bodies being taken out of the boot, I broke down.
No mother can bear such a scene. That is when I decided to keep an ambulance on thatvery spot to help people whether the victims are alive or dead. It is in memory of mydaughter.

Ficci entrepreneur of the year award
I started my business with just two people. Now, there are 200 people working for me in myrestaurants. My lifestyle has changed too. From travelling in a cycle rickshaw, I moved to autorickshaws and now I have my own car. From 50 paise a day, my revenue has gone up to Rs 2lakh a day.
The 'Ficci entrepreneur of the year' award is the culmination of all the hard work I haveput in over the last 30 years. It came as a surprise as this is the first time I have receivedan award.
Till now, I had no time to think of what I was doing. But the award made me look backand relive the days that passed by. Now, my ambition is to build my Sandeepha brand.

PREFACE
Entrepreneurial development has globally been recognized as the strong key to rapidand sustainable economic development. Sustainable growth is must for a healthy society.
The overwhelming response from the students of different batches and theManagement makes me more apprehensive about the prospects of entrepreneurship.There is no doubt that the time has been demanding the right approach towards theeconomic development of the society. By right approach I mean-the approach thathas long way to go in building a strong foundation for the coming decades andcenturies.
It gives me immense pleasure in presenting the second Volume of theQuarterly magazine to my dear students, faculties and other esteemed readers. ThisMagazine is not the reflection of the success stories but that of the change.The scene should spread wider and larger; the change should penetrate deeper anddeeper.
All the previous events make me rejoice and affirm the hope for a bettertomorrow of Indian youth. The interest and passion shown by them has beenunparalleled. The very fundamental change in attitude and mindset towardschoosing the path in life can mean a lot and will certainly bear the sweeter fruitsthan ever.
As the DGM at Rourkela Steel Plant, my role as an individual and as theManager was very distinct but complementary. As an individual, I looked upon theaspects of improvement which often couldn’t reach to the managerial levels.Moreover, as a manager, I devised strategies for better results, led and motivated myco-workers to stand for values and the principles.
I am hopeful that my endeavor to inculcate these values in my dear studentsshall surely bear the better results for them and the society.
Sound planning, better coordination, rational decision-making andperseverance are the qualities that an entrepreneur should strive for. The changingeconomic, political and global scenarios are echoing the need for aggressiveentrepreneurial qualities among the youth of today.

From Principal’s Desk
Industry & Institution have been collaborating for over a century, but the rise of globalknowledge economy has intensified the need for strategic partnerships that go beyond thetraditional funding of discrete research projects.

The NEN Award Ceremony ended on a high note on March 8, 2014. The EDP & IIPC Centre
received great attention during the event. The Centre was nominated for the first time in this
Regional Award Function held at IEM, Kolkata. It bagged ‘The Best Debutant Award” for the year
2014. The Centre was invited to witness the occasion. Two of our E-Leaders and the member of
Udyami-Mitra Association , Dinesh Kumar and Amit Vishwakarma, travelled to Kolkata to
receive the Prestigious Award of the year.
The Centre came into its existence in October, 2014. One of the most versatile and
experienced personalities and faculties of the Institution Prof. S. N. Mishra agreed to serve in the
position of Director of the Centre. It was the breakthrough effort from his side, when he
presented the multi-faceted aspects and necessity of this Centre in today’s scenario before the
V.C. , Deans, HODs etc , which convinced the other members of the Institution about the need
of the day. Thereafter the Centre moved on with its plan of activities to achieve its goals and
objectives. The pace has been so smooth and congenial with the general curriculum of the
Institution that the Centre has been successful in hosting over 15 events in the last 5-6 months
of its establishment. The event ranged from quizzes restricted to college students & seminars at
IITs to the state level Drives and Competitions which attracted participation from almost all
major Engineering and Management colleges of the state.
Apart from the active involvement of students and our E-Leaders, it took the congenial support
from the Institute’s Management and other staff to make these plans a remarkable success for
the students and the Institution as a whole.
The whole effort resulted in bagging the “Best Debutant Award” for the year. Today, we have
reached a milestone, which strengthens our endeavour to strive hard and achieve above the
mark. The approach of taking the plans has been very instrumental in making the things happen
at right place and right manner.
The recently concluded E-Week in the College campus gained a lot of appreciation from every
corners of the Institution.
We are planning to extend our limit and host some events and activities of larger scale which
would mould the thinking of the young minds of our institution who aspire to be a well equipped
technocrat or to be a well established entrepreneur in the life. Students are the base of any
institution, thus its look will change the outlook of the industries towards the technical prospects
of the Institution in the way to suit it better.
We are again thankful to all those students and members of Udyami-Mitra Association who
have devoted themselves to attain this milestone in such a small time frame.

There are no set rules to identify a suitable project, though this is one decisionon which the success of your entire venture hinges. So, don’t take hasty deci-sions. Most prospective entrepreneurs tend to display the herd tendency andgo for a project, which people have already ventured into. This is not a healthyattitude as success of one in a particular field does not guarantee success ofthe other. While identifying a suitable project, you should make a SWOTanalysis of your own strengths and weaknesses. There are more details in aseparate chapter.
The next step, after you have selected your project, is to collect all infor-mation about it. The most important information is about the potential marketof the items you selected. There are several ways for this. You may go for abasic desk survey, a snap survey or a detailed market survey. A separate chap-ter provides guidelines to assess the market potential.
PROJECT REPORT: A FORECAST PLAN
Now, you will need to prepare a feasibility report about your project. A feasi-bility report will broadly contain:

REQUIREMENTS TO START A BUSINESS
Selection of Location: A Vital DecisionThis is extremely important. Usually, small-scale entrepreneurs are found tohave a predetermined location. The location should be decided according tothe proximity to sources of raw materials, consumption centers, availabilityof infrastructure, necessary skills in surrounding areas and availability ofincentives. Sometimes the requirements conflict with one another and a par-ticular location may not match all. Such situations want you to balance outthe requirements, while also ensuring that they do not affect the viability ofthe project. Experience shows most entrepreneurs attaching more impor-tance to available financial incentives and ignoring other important aspectsguiding the selection of the location. Such misplaced emphasis may runthe project into unviability in the long run. Your decision on the location,

chp-5.qxd 10/18/05 9:06 AM Page 42
therefore, should not just be based on incentives, but more on availability ofinfrastructure and skills.
Land and Building: Make Correct AssessmentBefore assessing land requirements, you must draw up a plant layout based onthe type of facilities proposed to be installed. Normally, the land should notexceed five to six times the built-up area; but it all finally depends upon theproject. Land in excess of the requirement will block up funds, which couldotherwise be utilised for productive purposes. The land should be free fromany encumbrances and should be non-agricultural.
Select the Right Manufacturing ProcessSuitable manufacturing processes have to be identified for production. Someproducts may need a particular process depending upon raw material avail-ability, the prices and the quality requirement of the end product. A detailedflow chart may also be drawn with all operating parameters.
Government Formalities and ProceduresThe process of planning also includes planning for execution of various gov-ernment formalities. Though the government in the post-liberalisation eraintends to reduce permissions/clearances to free the industry from bureau-cratic controls, you need to clear specific formalities to avail certain benefits.The following formalities need to be considered for small-scale units:
i) SSI Registration: Required for the Records Though SSI registration is not mandatory according to recent changes in therules, it is advisable that you register your small-scale unit with the DistrictIndustries Centre (DIC) of the district where your project will be located. Thegovernment requires this registration to plan for future needs of the industryand it is in your interest to register your unit.
ii) Acquisition of Infrastructure FacilitiesIf you plan to locate your project in an industrial estate promoted by a gov-ernment agency, you may apply for a built-up shed or a plot of land. You canstart your activities once the shed/plot is offered. If you have been allotted a
Planning a Small-scale Unit: Whom to Approach for What 43
chp-5.qxd 10/18/05 9:06 AM Page 43
plot, you can start construction after your building plans are approved. Ineither case, you have to apply for power connection to the State ElectricityBoard and for water to the authorities concerned.
iii) Pollution Control Clearance: Obtain NOC orConsent
You should also apply for obtaining an NOC from the State Pollution ControlBoard (PCB). If your unit is likely to be a pollution hazard or may dischargeeffluents, the PCB first issues an NOC with certain conditions to install facil-ities to check air or water pollution to specific levels. After you have installedthe necessary facilities and they are satisfied, the PCB gives its consent tostart operations.
iv) Constitution of the BusinessYou should decide on the organisational form of your business, viz. if it shouldbe a proprietorship, partnership or a private limited company, according to thesize of its operations and the degree of risk involved. In proprietorship, thegains and losses of the business rest with the proprietor, while in partnership,all the partners share the gains and the losses except the minor partners, whoare exempt from bearing the losses. In a private limited company, the memberstake the gain or losses as per their holding in the company, for it is consideredto be a separate legal entity. Once the business constitution is decided, you mayundertake necessary formalities for registering the firm accordingly.
v) Arrangement of Finance for Fixed Assets andCurrent Assets
After taking these clearances, you may apply for a term loan either to a state-level financial institution or a commercial bank, with a techno-economic fea-sibility report, including market survey, and all documentary evidence justify-ing your claim for the project being feasible. Once the loan is sanctioned, youmay have to execute necessary legal documents mortgaging your assets. Thedisbursement of the term loan usually starts after you have fulfilled all the con-ditions and also after 50 per cent of your own capital is raised and invested inthe project. The institutions generally disburse 75 per cent of the loan sanc-tioned on a matching basis. Thereafter, you should raise and invest the rest ofyour contribution to stake your claim for disbursal of the balance term loan.Simultaneously, you can also negotiate with your bankers to sanction theworking capital requirements. The bankers would, however, consider the working
Chapter Five44
chp-5.qxd 10/18/05 9:06 AM Page 44
capital loan only after the term loan is sanctioned. If you propose to locate yourproject in developing areas eligible for state incentives, you will need to applyfor registration and sanction with the state authority to avail the incentives. Onlyafter you get the sanctions can you start implementing your project.
vi) Government Formalities Need to be Viewedin Proper Perspective
Experience shows that many people do not give adequate weightage to com-plying with various government formalities. Utmost care should be taken inthis connection during the planning stage itself, as in the case of ignorance theproject implementation gets delayed and incurs cost overruns, and sometimesderails the entire project.
You must also be aware of the sequence of steps to be followed while plan-ning a small-scale unit. There are no rigid rules, but experience reveals thatnothing important will be missed if you follow the sequence. Some activitiescan be handled simultaneously. The sequence may vary according to theneeds and size of your project. You may decide basing on ground realities.The steps above will help you develop an insight into project planning. Fine-tuning project implementation activities at the planning stage will help youcoordinate resources appropriately in keeping with the project needs andavoid slippage in implementation and cost overruns.
Whom to Approach for What?
New entrepreneurs must know where to go for a particular piece of informa-tion as this knowledge will help them avoid a lot of running around. For this,they must know clearly what they are looking for.
Some may be completely ignorant, a few may know about marketing orproduction or finance, etc. The completely ignorant will require initial deskwork and discussions with knowledgeable persons like the EDP trainer, exten-sion officers, businessmen, small-scale industrialists, etc. This will help youaccelerate the process of enterprise establishment.
Those with some knowledge will require specific information. It will beuseful for them to list the various things to be completed to set up their enter-prise. This desk work will give them a clear idea about the assistance theyneed to fulfill their activities.
Various development agencies assist entrepreneurs:
a. Some agencies provide only general information and you yourselfhave to collect specific information.
Planning a Small-scale Unit: Whom to Approach for What 45
chp-5.qxd 10/18/05 9:06 AM Page 45
b. Some provide technical/marketing expertise in specialised areas.
c. Some provide guidance in technical and financial matters, besidestaking up turnkey responsibility (implementation assistance).
But government formalities will have to be completed by the entrepre-neurs themselves. They can contact the concerned departments/offices forinformation.
You should only retain the relevant information/data while collecting infor-mation. You must keep important information at a proper place to find themwhen needed. The compilation and segregation of information will need tablework and it should be compared with the checklist prepared earlier to ensureall data has been collected before actual commencement of work.
Expert guidance will help in decision-making process. It will be useful toacquire first-hand information from institutions to get a clear picture of theentire exercise.
A table below shows various sources of information for a new entrepreneur.They need not contact all agencies except the relevant ones. However, theymust contact at least the following agencies to have knowledge about small-scale industries and the procedures:

RATIONALE
The post liberalization industrial & economic scenario in India makes it imperative that a more dynamic
and pragmatic approach is needed to create entrepreneurs on a large scale. This would help not only
in tackling the problem of unemployment but also in the growth of new entrepreneurs. Using
technology and quality as their strategic tools, those who can take on the increased competition in the
domestic as well as global markets are innovators and entrepreneurs in true sense of the term. This
can be achieved only if more and more people are motivated and convinced to choose
entrepreneurship as a career and put their energies and resources to a productive use.
Various state level entrepreneurship development institutes, as well as EDI, the pioneer in
entrepreneurship development, have, for decades, been conducting localised Entrepreneurship
Development Programmes (EDPs) for a limited number of people. These EDPs have limitations in

UNTRODDEN PATHS…
MARY HUNTER
y
Mary Hunter has always been happy to cook for her congregation at the Yes LordChurch in Gary, Ind. Her recipes, she told me, come directly from God. “I don’thave a cookbook,” she said. “God gives me my own.” Prayer is “where I get 99percent of my recipes.”
Mrs. Hunter, who is 73, likes to cook big roasts for her church, “and if I had adifficult piece of meat I might marinate it in some beer and celery” with a blend ofher secret seasonings. When she learned that she had diabetes and high blood
UNTRODDEN PATHSUDYAMI-MITRA May’14
pressure, though, she had to cut out her salty marinades and cook the meat moreblandly.
Then, one day, God had an idea. “I was writing down some recipes and God said tome that I should take that ink pen and stick holes all through it and put a clip onone side so that you can open it” — lengthwise — “and then put your onions andyour garlic and your aromatics down the middle and put it inside your meat —then, you won’t have to eat bland foods.” And so was born her invention, a longstainless steel device that, according to tests in restaurants and elsewhere, faroutperforms those herbal injectors and other disappointing methods for introducingflavors into the interior of a big piece of meat.
Later this month, Mary’s Marinating Sticks are scheduled to go on sale in Targetstores. Mrs. Hunter’s invention follows the classic arc seen in movies: she had agood idea, got it patented and found a market.
But that’s the movies. In real life, it’s never that easy. For starters, Mrs. Hunter’sdivine idea came to her in 1994. She’s been following through ever since.
It’s safe to say that many very good ideas never get out of the pew — or off thebarstool — where they were conceived. Inventors are often quick to explain that abrilliant idea is the easy part and that the real work comes in navigating throughthe mundane problems and scut work of getting to market. Mrs. Hunter’s sticksare proof of that claim.
Not long after her vision, Mrs. Hunter took the advice of a Gary alderman toattend a class on patenting, offered at a Chicago library. Thus she learned theropes. Three years later, she had a patent and an industrial designer, David Smith,an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois. He has designed products fromcellphones to ergonomic chairs to cheese boards for stores like Crate & Barrel, Searsand Sharper Image. Mrs. Hunter got the idea committed to paper, a schematic ofhow the device should be engineered. Mr. Smith created several proof-of-conceptversions, but they all proved frustrating.
UNTRODDEN PATHSUDYAMI-MITRA May’14
“I had spent an entire summer making a prototype and made 20 renditions andnone of them worked,” Mr. Smith recalled. He also attends Mrs. Hunter’s churchand one day went to her house with bad news.
“I told Mary I couldn’t do it, but she said: ‘God told me you are the one to do this.’And I’m sitting there in Mary’s dining room, when God showed me an oldcommercial for the Maxwell House percolator.” That memory of the commercialmade him realize that the device would not only have to hold the spices andaromatics but also allow enough flow to permit juices to move in and out. He wentback to the shop and hammered out a new stainless steel model.
To test it, Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Smith gave versions of the stick to twoestablishments in Chicago — Jilly’s, a piano bar on Rush Street, and Mas, arestaurant in Wicker Park. The positive reactions from the chefs eventually led to adeal with All-Clad, a maker of kitchen products. It was 2004, and Mrs. Hunterwas on the brink of commercial success.
“The vice president of All-Clad said, ‘We are ready to roll,’ ” Mr. Smith recalled.
Nothing could go wrong — except, of course, it did. “That following week,” Mr.Smith added, “All-Clad was bought out by a French conglomerate” — GroupeSEB, noted for its Krups coffee makers — “and they had to halt all R.& D.
“So at that point in time we just decided we would try to make it ourselves,” hesaid.
Mrs. Hunter took out a second mortgage and contracted with InnovationStamping, a California company that specializes in producing exhibition boothcomponents. There was some success afterward. She got the product sold in anumber of Jewel food stores.
She also created a sales force out of her church. In doing so, she was reaching backto one of the great traditional strategies in in African-American capitalism. Afamous practitioner was Sarah Breedlove, a child of slaves, who created acosmetics empire beginning in 1905 under the name Madame C. J. Walker. She wasa pioneer of the strategy now known as direct marketing by creating a sales force
UNTRODDEN PATHSUDYAMI-MITRA May’14
drawn mostly from African-American churches and schools, eventually employing3,000 people.
Around the time that Mrs. Hunter was putting together her own sales force, herson, the Rev. Dwayne Hunter (now the pastor at Yes Lord), managed to get her aspot in the International Home and Housewares Show at McCormick Place inChicago, one of the biggest exhibitions of its kind. (In 2014, the organizers expect60,000 people like Mrs. Hunter to attend.) A representative from the Hagen Grotecatalog in Germany saw the marinating stick there and bought a hundred. As theproduct hummed along — popular in Gary, Ind., and Germany — Mrs. Hunterattracted the attention of Lucky Dog Productions, a television company trying toput together a show called “Invention Hunters.”
So, last season, Mrs. Hunter found herself on a television show among a dozenother inventors. The exciting conclusion came down to her battling it out with twoother contestants: a real estate broker who had invented a sponge that soaks uppan grease, and a man with a cooler that launches beers at you, perfect for thetailgating demographic. In the show, the hosts took the marinating sticks toRosebud Steakhouse in Chicago where the chef Michael Ponzio tested them andgave them a rave — declaring that the sticks earned an 8 out of 10 points. Mrs.Hunter was the undisputed winner.
The producers told her that their patent search revealed that kitchen inventors hadbeen trying to devise gadgets for introducing flavor into meat for almost 200 years.Mainly what they had come up with was the injector. A flaw with shooting liquidspices into meat is that they tend to pool at the point of insertion, later revealingan odd circle of green in your sliced roast. Mrs. Hunter’s sticks manage to flavorevery bite of the meat with the added, unexpected benefit of keeping it moist.
This month, the company Lifetime Brands, which awarded Mrs. Hunter thewinning title on “Invention Hunters,” has listed her product in Chefs catalog(where it is called a “seasoning stick”) and plans to have it on the shelves of Targetstores — 19 years after God gave her the blueprint to an idea for a long tubepunched full of holes with hinges and a latch.

A version of this article appears in print on October 20, 2013, on page BU6 ofthe New York edition with the headline: An Invention That Marinated for 19Years.
Mary’s Marinating Stick: A Truly Helpful IdeaHow do you marinate meat? Unless you buy the 30 minute marinades from Lawry’s, you have tomake the marinade, and then let your meat soak in it–overnight if you really want the full benefitof marinating your meat. And honestly, even Lawry’s takes longer than 30 minutes if you reallywant full flavor.
It was this long process that inspired Mary Hunter of Gary, Indiana to come up with an easiersolution: the marinating stick. It looks sort of like a wide chop stick with holes. You insert yourspices, and herbs into this ’wide chopstick’ and then insert the stick into the meat. While themeat is cooking, the natural juices of the meat help infuse the herbs and spices throughout givingyour meat a full, and robust flavor. It eliminates the need to marinate meat and manychefs whohave used it claim that the meat comes out with a better flavor.It took Mary Hunter 13 years to develop a prototype and get a patent but now you can buyMary’s Marinating stick online. This is great news for cooks, but if her idea really starts to takeoff, the people who will really benefit are the people of Gary, Indiana.
